中子活化源项的核素存量计算分析研究与验证

Calculation and Analysis of Nuclide Inventory in Neutron Activation Source Terms and Validation

  • 摘要: 在中子活化源项方面,核素存量计算分析研究对于反应堆物理和源项分析十分重要。通常而言,材料受中子辐照后,会导致核素活化,核素存量计算分析可以为核电站屏蔽设计、事故分析、结构材料选择等提供数据上的支持。常用的核素存量计算方法主要包括线性子链方法、泰勒展开方法、切比雪夫有理近似方法等。华北电力大学源项研究组开发了具有自主知识产权的核素存量计算程序ABURN,程序采用EAF-2007数据库和线性子链方法进行源项计算,程序实现了中子活化计算、衰变计算、脉冲计算、不确定性分析、核素径迹追踪与贡献统计等功能。程序经历了一系列的基准题测试,并与欧洲活化计算程序FISPACT进行了对比分析。39S衰变算例中,ABURN结果与FISPACT相比的最大相对误差为0.00%;Ti活化算例中,不确定性分析结果的最大相对误差为0.18%;50Cr的脉冲计算结果中,最大相对误差为−0.05%。以上结果证明了ABURN程序计算准确,各项功能实现正确。

     

    Abstract: In terms of neutron activation source terms, the calculation and analysis of nuclide inventory are very important in reactor physics and source term analysis. Generally speaking, nuclides will be activated when materials are irradiated by neutrons. Calculation and analysis of nuclide inventory can provide data support for shielding design, safety accident analysis and structural material selection of nuclear power plants. Commonly used methods for calculation and analysis of nuclide inventory mainly include transmutation trajectory analysis, Taylor expansion method, Chebyshev rational approximation method, etc. The source term team of North China Electric Power University has developed a neutron source term activation calculation program ABURN with independent knowledge based on the activation calculation theory algorithm. The program currently includes groups of EAF-2007. Transmutation trajectory analysis can be selected for source term calculation. The program realizes functions such as neutron activation calculation, decay calculation, pulse calculation, uncertainty and sensitivity analysis, and nuclide track tracking and contribution statistics based on the transmutation trajectory analysis and so on. After the integrated development of the program function, a series of benchmark questions were tested and compared with the international authoritative source term calculation program FISPACT. In the decay example of 39S, the maximum relative error between the ABURN result and the FISPACT result is 0.00%; in the activation example of Ti, the maximum relative error of the uncertainty analysis result is 0.18%; in the pulse calculation result of 50Cr, the maximum relative error is −0.05%. These results demonstrate that the ABURN program calculates accurately and that all functions are correctly implemented.
